what???? It's hard to tell if exercising is even worth the effort??? Are you serious??
dude, exercise is probably one of the best things you could possibly do for your body. And it's not just about heart health. Being fit has a million additional benefits, like better mood, better sleep, better sex, easier to focus on tasks, more endurance for physical AND mental activites, confidence, feeling good about how you look, and sooo many other things. Not to mention, when exercising to your potential you get a natural high. I find the best part for me is the mood thing. Your body chemisty is different and you're just in a better overall mood all the time, and it makes waking up in the morning a lot easier.
Yup totally serious! You can think i'm an idiot for thinking it, but here's my reason why:
In the time that I was no longer forced to exercise (by the school / college / uni) I haven't felt unhealthier, or miserable or less confident. I'm happy about the way that I look and feel.
I used to play at Uni level badminton for my university, and I was challenged to a game about 6 months ago. Needless to say, I was still on form, and whooped the other guys ass at it... I haven't lost my energy in the things that I do.
However, alot of my friends from high school, go to the gym, to push weights, pump themselves up and look like Arnold Schwarzenneger. They think it impresses the girls. I just don't see the need.
Perhaps it's my surroundings that give me a bad impression for exercise or going to the gym. The people here do it for the wrong reasons.
